Paulo - with rails moving so fast books can go out of date very quickly. Have you tried any screencasts? ---

Yes, I have few Peep Codes, but I need to watch… I know, books go out of date very quickly, but, can I read a Rails 1.x book USING RAILS 2.x ? I think no, because there are many changes, I probably I wiil have problems, or at minimum, erros! 😉 Suggestions? I would like to “start learning Rails 2.x”. Cheers, Paulo CASSIANO.

I think you can go with The Rails Way book, =) Good luck then. ---

I’ve read the preface of this book, and it seems to be a good choice 😉 Who have read this book? May you share your opinions? Cheers, Paulo C… On Jan 30, 2008 2:20 PM, Andreh L. [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) ---

I am reading “The Rails Way” now, and it is very good, but I do not know if I would recommend it as a ‘beginner’ book for Rails. Of course if you have your feet wet already, you are fairly fluent in Ruby, and have been through some introductory Rails material before, then I would highly recommend this book. ---
